28mm late war British & Germans

[has.been]

That mortar vignette is a masterpiece. The fact that you can see the roots of the foliage in the pit is brilliant.

I had to go back & take another look. Well done!

Here's the 6 pounder.

Lovely stuff, is the wheeled combat deckchair for the gun commander?

Just in case any visiting RAF officers should happen to drop in...
I think the chap making a brew should go with it.

[Ash]

Here's a few more...





... and the Jeep.






forgot to paint that yellow disc on the front.

[Digits]

Great work mate, really nice!

It's a handcart to carry their shopping in.
Ash, how about re-fettling the gun crew a tad as S/Staffs, maybe make one of 'em a Lance Sergeant?
Can you buy this range of figures from Empress, yet?
 

[carlos marighela]

Brilliant!

As for the deckchair, I reckon a 6 pounder is an excellent way of ensuring you get your full hour for the three quid you just spent. 

[Ash]

Ta very much.
Seem to be ploughing through this lot.
Got the late War 6 pounder after these, and just bagged the old Warlord Para carrying a casualty figure off feeBay.

That particular Lance Sergeant figure is the bloke in the middle. I think I gave him some chevrons, well one set on the right sleeve.
Was toying with the idea of making the base to look like a bit of smashed up garden, but managed to stop myself.
Good idea, what would make them look the part for S/Staffs..?
As for buying from Empress, I don't think they will be on the site any time soon, but I believe another Kickstarter is on the cards, so there may/might be an option to add-on some of these...
You'd have to ask Paul.

Brilliant!

Indeed, no argument accepted from the business end of one of those.

A gormless expression and an impenetrably adenoidal accent? Maybe bits of pottery scattered on the base? No, that's a wee bit further north. I know... a miniature Bull Terrier. 

Liking the jeeps too.

Cap badge on the bloke in the jeep, no wings on the smocks.

[Ash]

Left off the wings on these.
Good call on the beret badge, I hadn't spotted that. It definitely looks the part. Will add some 'Old Gold' to that.
Going to have another look at the rest now.

[CapnJim]

Lovely stuff, as usual, Ash...

[Harry Faversham]

Ash, you iz di man!
The standard you paint to, yer little men deserve, to be beyond lesser mortals criticism. Happy to help, I love wot you're doing with the Airborne.

Thanks Jim.

Help is always much appreciated, as are the kind feedback comments, though if you saw the way I paint you'd probably spit your tea out..!

Here's the Jeep with added yellow thing, better looking beret badge and should be able to see the kit in the back. A 2" mortar, couple of ammo cases to go with and a Bren.
